The former commander of Libya’s Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG) has dismissed the arrest warrant issued for him by the Attorney-General who accused him of involvement in attacks on oil terminals with mercenaries from Chad. The Libyan Observer reports that Ibrahim Jadran accused chief investigator Al-Siddiq Al-Sour of fabricating charges against him, saying he was an impostor as the Attorney-General's office was vacant. ‘Al-Sour is now committing a crime by claiming this post he is occupying and he has plunged the public prosecution into political conflicts,’ he added.
